The March OF Culture In the West.
Ed Scheffelin, who sold out the cele-
brated Toughnut mine in Arizona for
something like 81 100000, went to
Smartsville, New, to examine gravel
mine. Mr.. Scheffelin wears his hair
in long ringlets and is somewhat &C.
centric in his dress, but he has a big
heart. He had determined to have
the best of everything going, and reg
istered at the Baldwin Hotel. When
meal time came he sought entrance
to the dining-room in his shirt sleeves.
The sable doorkeeper told him he
must put his coat on before going in.
Ed got mad at this infringement on
his private rights and long-established
custom, and exclaimed: al guess
you don't know who am, you black
rascal" "Dat don't make no odds,
SIR" The honest miner was riled
clear through and sent for Landlord
Pearson. The landlord told him he
must finish dressing before going to
eat, no matter who he was.

PLAIN TALK TO FORT WORTH
ITES

The action of the Texas Live Stock As
sociation at Dallas in the matter of re-
frigerating beef-advanced by them as a
necessity to restore active competition in
their business-amounts to the formation
Of a committee to receive bids from the
different cities aspiring to become
live stock trading centers. The purpose
appears to be to establish refrigerating
plant, and to locate it where the natural
advantages are good, and the committee
is instructed to communicate with the
people of the different towns with view
to obtaining bonus. This
action was forced on the con-
vention by the attempt to obtain pledge
of support to refrigerating plant to be
established in Dallas to the detriment of
all others, as well as by the persistent
claims that Houston would do almost
anything to secure the operation of so
important q manufacturing enterprise.
That there is refrigersting plant in
Fort Worth was not taken into considera-
ton. The committee will meet here
March il to consider the propo-
sitions made to them in the
meantime. The committee will then
report to the executive commit
tee of the association, and final action
will be taken on Wednesday. But for the
timely, elaborate and vigorous defense of
Fort Worth by Mr.. T. T. D. An
drews of this city, coupled with
the assertion that Fort Worth
would get the plant started here
while other cities were thinking
about it, a resolution injurious to Fort
Worth and in favor of Dallas would have
been placed on record before the great
of the stockmen found out the |
full significance of such action. AS it is, |
thanks to Mr.. Andrews and the many |
friends Of our city, whom he brought |
to the front, Fort Worth still has
a fair field and need fear no backset if the
progress made in the last few days is
with vigorous action for a
few days more. The stockmen are unan-
imous that refrigerator must be operated
in the state, and the Fort Worth
delegation at Dallas yesterday are all unan-
mous that the Fort Worth refrigerator
must be soon operated or the result will
De the erection of a gigantic plant else
where. The active operation of refrig-
orator is necessity to the stock inter-
.sts of Texas. 1t is also a necessity to
he prosperity of Fort Worth.

To the Editor of the Gazette.
The representatives of this great com.
monwealth will meet at the capital Don,
to discuss matters "pro bono publico,"
and we hope that the subject of a geolog-
ical report will be brought before them
at the earliest moment practicable. Our
cities and towns are to-day suffering
more or less from the neglect of past
Legislatures for not having pointed out
the various coal-flelds of the state.
Agriculture has sustained the commerce
OF our cities and towns. For the want of
cheap fuel the manufacturing interests Of
the state have scarcely made beginning
For the full development of common
wealth there must be a diversity of
interests in order to provide for the differ
ent avocations of life that men incline to.
5 me may be farmers, others mechanics,
artists etc, each in his sphere of action
producing something that the other may
desire after having his own wants salts
fed. The farmer may sell bread and meat
to the mechanic when he has a surplus,
thereby providing himself with money to
purchase in turn from the mechanic. |
simply bring out this illustration to show
that an expense created by the legislature
would rebound to the best interests of
the whole commonwealth. Icannot pre-
sumo to take the space of your valuable
paper to elucidate the whole proposition,
yet hope that you with others may as
sist in bringing about measure that will
provide for the thorough geological sur

done in one year, but should be continued
until thorough report is placed before
the people. | believe the vast
amount of minerals in this state
will some day produce such values
as have never been heard of.
The revenues to be derived by the state
both directly and indirectly will more
than compensate for the paItry sum re-
quired. When great ceal shafts are be-

and even gold shall have become estab,

sands of people to dig out and convert

correspondence of the Gazette.
| BURNET, TEX, Jan. i2.-Business con-
tinues good, remarkably so for the sea-
son, and the merchants are happy. Sew
eral large business houses will be erected
here in the near future, and the business
outlook is most promising. Sociables
and balls are OF nightly occurrence, which
renders life pleasant to the youngsters.
Visitors to the falls arrive daily, and
after having visited the most noted of
places, express surprise that so little has
| been known of the marvellous wealth at
and near the falls. An old gentleman
! from Alabama who visited the falls few
days ago, after thoroughly Investigating
the water power and the many elements
of industry in close proximity to the falls,
remarked to your correspondent that
/ there was a greater concentration of
wealth there than at any point in
Americs, not excepting Birmingham.
He stated that Birmingham depended
wholly on coal and iron, but here was not
only coal and iron of the best qualify and
in ineXhaustible quantities, but variegsted
marble that equals any in the world, be-
siuCs SbalaSllICy anu OtuCI ClC-
ments of wealth which are unknown in
any other locality. He predicted that
the day was not far distant when capt.
talists would unearth the hidden treas
ures, utilize them to profit, and that Bur
net would be the wealthieSt county in the
South.
l met with two of MasoG's most promi-
Dent citizens here Yesterday who INFO med

county, and that quite number of
beeves had been shipped to Chicago the
past two weeks. AS an evidence of the
condition of cattle at present in that
county they stated that J. w. Garnel
who has 5000 cattle in pasture says
his loss will not exceed per
cent. thus far. C. G.. Smith. who
renders 5000 cattle on the tax rolls is
per cent. during the winter. Crosby
and Wheeler, who claim the same number
OF cattle-5000 eaCh-say their loss Is
comparatively moth ng, while other stock
men owning less number may be classed
as equally fortunate. Grass is said TO be
better in that county than at any time
within the past ten years. Flock masters
are also jubilant over the fatteriug out !
lock, as sheep are in prime condition, |
free from scab or any disease to which |
they are subject, and the prospect Of /
wool commanding % cents in the spring |
has tendency to render the sheepmen |
happy, ard the consequence is sheep have
advanced so per cent. the past sixty days !
Much interest is apparently manifested |
here relative to the senatorship. All OF |
the candidates spoken Of have their
friends and sympathizers. Ireland stock |
appears to command q premium and is
uppermost in the market. The sage of
Palestine is also quite popular and the
friends Of Ireland say that if he cannot be
elected Reagan is their next choice.
George IL. Pendleton of Bell is univer-
sally popular throughout the West, and !
his election as speaker gives general sat
to westernites, as he is known
to be honest and amply qualified to fill

GOV. LRELAND'S MESSAGE.

The full text of Gov. Ireland's message
has been presented to the readers OF
THE GAZETTE, and each will form his es-
innate of the matter contained. There is
much space devoted to reviewing the
four years OF his administration, and
happy would be the result if all felt the
satisfaction which he expresses in the re-
Prospect. Few indeed are those who
with less important trusts, can honestly
say there is no action of theirs they
would change, or feel the possibility of h
doubt that there had been mistakes. He
does not hesitate to suggest to the pres
ent legislators measures in accordance
with his views and supports this counsel
by reference to his own administration.
Although the money in the treasury has
been appropriated, and by his statement
taxation reduced from % TO III cents,
there is now more money in the treasury

Gov. IRELAND has had his last say as
governor, told the people all he had to
tell, and is ready to retire to the shades
of private life or go upward to the
national senate, as the legislature may
elect. Now for the new governors in
augural. 1t will no doubt be document
of more brevity than Irelsnd's message,
but it will indicate the line of policy he
intends to pursue and let the people
know what they have to expect during the
next two years, so far as the aspirations
and views of the executive branch of the
state government can give shape and
effect to governmental policy.

THE late fearful holocaust of human
victims from railroad accidents points
Enthusiastically to faulty construction in
cars. That men, women and children
should be helplessly enclosed in burning
cages, is a reproach to the inventive spirit
of this age which has been distinguished
for its advance in all that tends to the
comfort and convenience of travellers. Is
it not time that the railroad companies be
compelled by law to look more TO the
safety of the lives and persons of those
who are so helplesslv committed to their
care? Certsinly some way of heating
and lighting cars can be devised other
than the present mode of stoves and kerr
osene lamps; and mode OF exit pro-
yided in case of accident. Oitentimes,
for the conductors convenience, the
doors in the end are locked and the in
mates of the car are virtually prisoners.
Better return to the candle of the
past, ana side doors, as was the earlier
method, than face the horrors of living
cremation. Side doors about midway the
car, and opening outward, would seldom
if ever be so blocked as to prevent exit,
and might be the means Of saving human
life. One thing is sure, if the law can be
made to REQUIRE some such precautionary
measures and faithful enforcement OF 1t

putting of this fund in circulation wiser
policy than q reserved fund in the treas
ury for emergencies.
While admitting the present system oil

| matter of education of the masses that
will soon convert the free grass advocate
There is no solution given to the unsolved
problem OF convict labor, One sugges-
ton is, however, worthy of consideration,
viz: that the minor penitentlary offenses
be made misdemeanors, and thus svoid
the expensive farce of sending criminal
to the penitentiary for few hours.
In the matter of railway legislation
Gov. ireland is rather non-committal,
save so far as the right of the state, and
that alone to control abuses within its
limits Whether there be any senatorial,
timber in this the reader must determine,
but in so much as one aspirapt has COM
mitted himself, it is barely possible that
the happy mean lies in neither the long
nor the short haul.
OF the serious condition of the people
he makes little note, Diminishing it with
the single recommendation that the
abandoned lands of the destitute be with
held from the market until these people
shall have time to reclaim them. For
the present 6melioration of their condi-
ton there is not a single sugges-
ton made. However as the in
coming governor and legislature
represent by majority the farming class.
there is no doubt these members will be
more keenly alive to the wants CT the suf-
feriDg people than mere politicians and
office seekers, and it is reasonable to ex-
pect that speedy and judicious legislative
aid will be given the stricken districts of
Western Texas.
Taken as a whole, the message may be
a f0ir resume of Gov. Ireland's
fOur-years administration, and while
many of his acts are amenable &c criti-
cism, few will be disposed to Judge
harshly course which he declares TO be
in strict accord with his preccnceived
ideas of the duties Of the office.

THE ELECTORAL COUNT MEAS
IRE

Congress makes its characteristic slow
i progress with the electoral count bill.
AT previous session the senate passed
what is really very practical and equita-
bic bill, designed to afford an escape
from the existing state of AFFAIRS, but the
house rejected the measure on objections
, that we're largely technical. A conference
committee, composed Of house and senate
members, has adjusted the differences
and presented report that will be salts
factory to both sides. The press of the
country, rejecting public opinion. ought
to urge and insist that congress shall not
adjourn without disposing of this
matter and leaving it in such a
shape that the people shall have
assurance of immunity from possible
complications in the future. There was
never more opportune time for legisls-
ton on the subject than right now, when
one party controls the house and the
other the senate, when certainly highly
conservative president is in the White
House, and when the presidential cleo
ton, with its sure excitement and its
possible dangers, resulting from the
count of electoral votes, is nearly two
years distant. The measure ought to ap.
peal to the patriotism as well as the
prudence of the patriotic men of both
parties, for it is absolutely devoid
of any tinge of sectionalism or parti-
zanship. 1t is in the interest of the gen.
eral veal, just as the building of a first
class navy and the protection of coast
cities are nOn-sectional, non-partizan
measures. 1t is settled that this con-
gress is not going to co anything in the
way of tariff reform. 1t might. there |
fore, be reasonably expected that as
measure of compensation, if for no higher
motive, congressman would be glad to |
take broad, patriotic action on measures
which, like the one under consideration,
can be discussed and settled without a |
strict drawing of party lines.

tour. The programme was to charter an
ocean steamer and take the command
ninety strong-to the principal capitals
of the old world To give eclat to the
trip the governor of Georgia and 8 num-
Der of distinguished citizens had agreed
to accompany the Georgia soldiers. The
command was to loom up in Europe and
show the people there what a degree of
perfection has been attained by the citi-
zen soldiery of this country in allthat
pertains to drill, movements, discipline,
soldierly bearing and full dress uni

company suggested that before setting

has evoked profound disgust in Georgia,
for it is the reverse of what was ex-

lar exclusiveness of John Bull, who keeps
up many effete customs and prejudices
against everything that is no. English.
AL last accounts the Ge0rgl6nS were de-

A Prospective Banquet.
Chicago Mail.

|
| The presence in Chicago of Mr.. James
Carlisle of Pueblo, e H., calls 20 mind an
incident in connection with himself and
one of the men who became rich from the
output of Leadville, which was amusing
and which, though conveying NO compli
ment to Mr.. Carlisle, he ufttu tells with
pardonable merriment. Tie bonanzaite
alluded to was originally good
hearted, leisure-loving Dutchman, much
of the same character as Rip
Van Wrinkle is painted, before
his protracted nap on the Catskills.
His name is Gus Rische, and when the
present millionaire and ex-senator Tabor
was keeping a store in California gulch,
Mr.. Tabor used to "grub stake" Rische
ally Rische and his crony, man named
Hook, almost accidentally found the
great carbonate lead that quickly built a
city among the clouds and doomed Denver
so satisfactorily, and made large num-
bsr of mlllionaires. OF course Rische be-
came rich with the others.
but, being always q man of unex-
allied tastes and decidedly Hitter
ate, there came time within few wears
in which social line of demarcation wa
of greater pretensions to style. Thus it
happened that once, when TABOR and
Others were entertaining some Eastern
msguates and capitalists with a banquet
at the Clarendon in Leadville, Mr.. Car
Isle walked into a saloon and bebeld 4
Rische consoling himself with an i'm

"Hellol" said Carlisle. nWhv amt

denly, as if remembering something, he
